CHICAGO , IL
Chicago is known for its restaurant scene , though most of these establishments would hardly be able to be described as “ frugal .” When in this great city , searching for a scrumptious meal to purchase with spare change , look no further than BIG & little ’ s restaurant . This place is an eclectic mixture of Asian staples , Mexican finger foods , and All-American classics , that are sure to send anyone ’ s taste buds into a frenzy .
Try the tacos , which can be ordered in a meat or fish variety , along with special sauces for each . The Samurai tacos are special ( dubbed so on the BIG & little ’ s menu ), with fried whitefish , pickled jalapeños , and two signature sauces : Samurai Sauce and Special Sauce . The Samurai Sauce is a sweet , soy based concoction , while the Special Sauce is creamier in texture , and described as a chili aioli .
Up for a foodie excursion ? Order the Japanese beef short rib tacos , which come with a little spice and a little sweetness , also topped with pickled jalapeños and Samurai Sauce . What really makes these tacos “ special ?” It ’ s the sauce , too , but the queso fresco that these mouthwatering handheld game-changers are topped with , is what really takes home the trophy .
BIG & little ’ s is more than just a taco joint . As mentioned , it holds a crown for burgers , fried classics , and even a grilled ahi tuna steak sandwich : YES . From the tacos , to softshell crab po ’ boys , and back around to a fried egg cheeseburger , you ’ ll want to make a little time for a BIG foodie win at BIG & little ’ s . With three locations , and more on the menu than ever before to choose from , being full and satisfied has never been so easy .

sauces for each. The Samurai tacos are special (dubbed so on the BIG & little’s menu),

Up for a foodie excursion? Order the Japanese beef short rib tacos, which come with
a little spice and a little sweetness, also topped with pickled jalapeños and Samurai
Sauce. What really makes these tacos “special?” It’s the sauce, too, but the queso
fresco that these mouthwatering handheld game-changers are topped with, is what
really takes home the trophy.
